Don't worry I'm sober today...

So after playing two pro matches I already see the lack of variety in players' choice of characters. Have you considered releasing some more pros for ts4 players savvy in programs such as xport and the like to import into the pro tour? I think it would be a pretty cool idea to add a little more to it.

Please elaborate how this would work. Definitely interesting.

Yeah sure. You'd assemble your team likely comprising of the stats guys and the art guys or maybe a combination of them. Try and make guys realistic though it will be hard to compete since most of the pros have 3 skills (I'm sure you'll find a way). Back when I used to talk to you about storing my TS3 players on my PC I used a program called XPort360 I believe to basically read my xbox hard drive contents connected to my PC via USB.

Now it's a lot easier to do with the USB thumb drives and there are programs that can read those via PC as well. Basically you'd just have to interpret which data corresponds to TS4 and then drop your players downloaded via ITST onto the thumb drive. Once you or we or whomever figured out that location and which programs to use make sure to post DETAILED instructions (some of these guys scare me on here) and make sure it's quite clear these players are legal so no one has a conniption in the player match lobby.

Big question is, are we opening up a Pandora box here?
Is there a way to edit attributes and skills for any given player?

If we can fully edit players and even add the 3rd skill, this would be awesome. We can then essentially (like you said), design a few Pros and implement them.

It is a rather big project though, I am not sure I can handle it.

Well I mean we could TRY something like that it would be pretty damn complicated though. I merely meant designing pros like you do in tennis elbow I guess maybe having your team do it from their console would be the easiest way. Then save them to your thumb drive or whatever. Then export that to your PC, then upload to ITST. This wouldn't be that hard.

The 3 skill thing would be a bit of a handicap though but most of the world's best are already in the game so maybe they should have a slight advantage. Besides I fair ok even using Tomic and he pretty much blows. Like I said it was just an idea to get more variety.

Like saying: Here's the guys you can download, list their stats online so everyone can see and make sure no one is cheating by making their own OP version. Then you have your extra pros. Like I said it is extra work and would require players to do some extra work to use them but it might draw a little extra interest getting to use Gulbis in ITST pro tour.

See if you can dig up that guy that was insanely obsessed with creating player faces in TS3 he'd prolly be all about it.

by **djarvik** » Tue, 29 May 2012 23:04

I understand your idea.

What I was asking, is how much editing ability do we have with this program?

Can we edit stats? Skills? Can we add a 3rd Skill etc...

by **ILuvBillVal** » Tue, 29 May 2012 23:28

Probably not with any of those programs directly. You'd need to get some sort of program i.e. hex type to edit the save files. I'm not really very knowledgeable on that subject but I'm sure someone in the ITST could figure it out. If you took those guys on WT though you might run into some problems so that could be a problem for some guys who don't think about that.

I read online that a while ago when the game first came out guys were using players with 3 skills. I'm not sure if it was just a glitch they found or they were actually editing the save files of the players. I would assume it's a matter of figuring out which variables belong to the skills and adding and subtracting them in the proper manner but I could be very wrong.

Or you could just make versions of the in game players as well so you won't have to worry about the skill problem. But yeah being able to create your own custom skill sets would be pretty bad ass.

by **djarvik** » Tue, 29 May 2012 23:45

ahhh now that you reminded me, I know foe sure its possible. Entering WT though might get your account banned, but playing friendly matches should not be an issue.

Let me just put this out there, if anyone knows how to do this stuff, please contact me. What we are looking to do is edit saved players and being able to edit stats and skills.

Diesel hard hitter + Instant rocket :shock:

he'd better have like 45 wings LOL

You should ask the number 1 & 2 of the Xbox tour : they have already done that kind of crazy combination, and have designed something to hide the real stats of their characters

How about:

Passing shot sniper + Crushing passing shot
Monster Defense + Smell of blood :shock:

Instant Rocket + Shot counter
Poisoned Slices + Slice invasion

If we could have three skills....

Diesel Serve + Stick Serve Berserker + Focus Service
Low volley specialist + Volley Shot Artist + Spectacular volleys

I think the best would be fatality wrong foot expert and reach swings expert

I could help out with the characters I think...I'm pretty good with the faces I think...I've only posted Sharapova though. I shall post my Hingis, Kournikova etc.

Oh...I think the deadliest combo would be:

Serve Stick Beserker
Instant Rocket
Diesel Returner

just an idea
